If you're using a turf for a warp pad, it would go something like this:

turf
  warppad
    var/dest_x
    var/dest_y
    var/dest_z

    Entered(atom/movable/A)
      A.loc = locate(dest_x, dest_y, dest_z)
      // insert special effects here


If you want to use an object for a warp pad, you'll need a Bumped() proc. Do a search for "Bumped(atom/movable/A)" if you need to find out how to make one.

obj
  warppad
    var/dest_x
    var/dest_y
    var/dest_z

  Bumped(atom/movable/A)
      A.loc = locate(dest_x, dest_y, dest_z)
      // insert special effects here


You can also use Move() instead of setting the loc var, but Move() will refuse to transfer victim if the destination is null, dense, or occupied, etc...

Easy, send them to an area or change their cordinates.

If you read Zilal's tutorial, that should be pie.

In response to EkstreM
src.loc = locate(13,37,1)
src.loc = locate(/area/snakeway)
And there's a few more ways.
